does it say anything on the first warning about how long you have?

it says that i have to fix the defect... get a law enforcement officer to see that i have fixed it and have them sign the paper and return it within ten days

well then, take the old and new tickets to court, show the judge that you only had two days to do it, and you should be good right?

or you could have told the cop to go screw himself, and then proceed to beat yourself with his nightstick and then sue the cop for battery.... mehehehe, oh and have your friend be the "witness"
